Hello, here are some pictures from my first experience photographing birds of prey. Im not 100% sure on the names, any corrections appreciated. http://www.9g-photography.fotopic.net/p31373790.html http://www.9g-photography.fotopic.net/p31363283.html http://www.9g-photography.fotopic.net/c1015213.html Enjoy Tim www.9g-photography.fotopic.net
Hey Ho Tim the first ones called "George" 2nd ones "mike" this one is a Striated Caracara http://www.9g-photography.fotopic.net/p31373625.html if its the one that was turning over the flower pots and jumping in the dust bin
The two shots you directly linked to are incredible. The closeup on the bald eagle is printworthy, no question.
I agree, amazing photo's. What lens did you use on the first photo? How did you get the black background on the second?
Thanks everyone . It was taken with a Sigma 50-500. The black background is caused by the extreme contrast between the bird in the sunlight and the wood area in the shade. Thanks for the name check Andy, George and Mike were in the book all along! Tim www.9g-photography.fotopic.net
Tim fantastic shooting!!!!! :thumbup: Can you post pictures rather than links as there are probably more lazy people than me around who can't be bothered to click a link. And by the way the first one ain't a RED KITE. It could be a Bateleur Eagle. Are you coming with us on tuesday? weather permitting. Ian
Cheers Hoppy. I will change the name sometime. Whats the plan for Tuesday? I might be available but have stuff to do before RIAT starts. We will see. Tim www.9g-photography.fotopic.net PS. Andy did show me how to post the image rather than a link, but I forgot how.:meh:
